SUMMARY:Art Metropole: Discussion with Scapegoat editors and issue contributors
DESCRIPTION:Join Scapegoat Journal at MOCA and Art Metropole for the launch of our next issue! \nScapegoat Issue 11: LIFE\n\nArchitectural modernity is an emphatically secular modernity that imagines itself to have been recently liberated from an age in which architecture was a metaphysical discipline\, and whose architectural forms were constrained by the metaphysical requirements of the king or the church.\n\n \n\nToday\, architects do not see themselves as metaphysicians\, and yet there is unfinished metaphysical business at the core of the modern project that continually undermines this narrative of liberation. Hidden within the new rationalist core of architectural modernity is the old western metaphysical distinction between life and non-life — the living and the non-living — which in the 21st century has increasingly become a site of political struggle in the built environment\, linking struggles over reproductive rights\, environmental justice\, climate change\, archaeology\, and urban design.\n\n \n\nIn the LIFE issue we find evidence of architecture’s ongoing metaphysical work in the use of architectural building codes as a tool to limit women’s reproductive choices in Texas\, the US military’s conversion of the Aleutian archipelago into its own private radiation sensor\, the management of racialized ghosts in Indonesian squatter settlements\, the rise of neo-vitalist urbansim in Europe\, and the introduction of the logic of automation into burial practices in Tokyo.\n\n \nContributors include Alexander Arroyo\, Maros Krivy\, Rosemary Joyce\, Craig Damion Smith\, Will Fu\, Sanford Kwinter\, Noah Scheinman\, Larissa Belcic and Michelle Shofet\, Fan Wu\, Rouzbeh Akhbari and David Schnitman\, Micah Lexier\, Oliver Vilela\, Joe Culpepper\, Matthew Allen\, Michael Fisch and Erez Golani Solomon\, George Johannes and Lori Brown and Eliza McCullough\, and Adam Bobbette.

SUMMARY:Art Metropole: Nacre Journal - Issue 1 Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join Art Metropole for the launch of Nacre Journal – Issue 1: We Regret to Inform You \nFeaturing presentations by Joshua Escobar\, Brennan Kelly\, Lauren Lavery\, and Anastasia Kolas\, and video screenings from Jessica Wilson and Ian Burnley. \nDoors 6:30 PM\nEvent 7-9 PM \n________ \nVideo Voicemail: \nJoshua Escobar a.k.a. DJ Ashtrae is the author of Caljforkya Voltage (No\, Dear/Small Anchor Press) and XXOX FM (DoubleCross Press\, 2019). Bareback Nightfall\, his first full-length collection\, is forthcoming in 2020 from Noemi Press and Letras Latinas. A CantoMundo fellow\, he publishes Orange Mercury and lives in San Bernardino. \nLive readings:  \nBrennan Kelly is a Toronto-based visual artist\, writer\, and designer. He received an MFA in studio art from the University of Guelph in 2018. His work has been exhibited and featured in publications throughout North America. \nLauren Lavery is a Toronto-based visual artist\, writer and editor of the exhibition review magazine Peripheral Review. Her writing has been published by LUMA Quarterly\, Public Parking\, Peripheral Review\, and has written texts for Y+ Contemporary and Xpace Cultural Centre in Toronto. She has exhibited in Vancouver\, Winnipeg\, Toronto and Cambridge\, ON. She holds a BFA with honours from Simon Fraser University’s School for the Contemporary Arts in Vancouver. \nLecture-performance: \nWe Regret To Inform You \nBorn in Minsk\, Belarus\, Anastasia Kolas is a visual artist based in Toronto. She is the editor and founder of Nacre Journal. Through spatial installation\, sculpture and lens-based media Anastasia traces image residue: her practice engages with accumulative effects of globalized aesthetic production as it is metabolized within locally configured environments. Anastasia holds Film/Video MFA from Bard College and Fashion Design BA from Ryerson University. \nThrough the live presentations: \nVideo: Jessica Wilson – Emergency (1) – loop \nJessica Wilson’s work draws on methods used for architectural renderings\, medical animation\, game design\, cinematography\, and visual effects\, developing computer generated characters and places. The environments she builds are textured with images she takes from the physical\, virtual\, mental and emotional worlds that she inhabits. Her work calls into question the notion of the invisible and the immaterial\, asking if it is possible to reconsider seemingly invisible forces and the physical effects they have on a body. Jessica Wilson (b.1991) lives and works in NYC. \nScreening: \nIan Burnley “1972\, Signing Off”\, video\, 16 min\, 2015 \nIan Burnley is an artist and experimental filmmaker living in Queens New York. A native of New York City\, he was born in 1985 in Manhattan\, and was raised on Staten Island within a multiracial family; black and Polish. He received a BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art\, and an MFA from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College. Ian is currently a faculty member at the School of Visual Arts\, New York City\, primarily teaching video and film courses at the undergraduate level. \n“Forgery” is a process in which sleight-of-hand and camouflage are used to recreate the identity and provenance of a subject in order to subvert and replace it. This definition of forgery operates as a framework in Ian Burnley’s recent moving-image works. He often begins by finding an interview in an out-of-date newspaper or magazine and work with actors to re-imagine this outmoded conversation by transposing it from the past into a contemporary setting; printed words are voiced once again by living subjects. The uncanny\, sometimes humorous re-embodiment of the original text is an invitation to viewers to reevaluate their own understanding of the source material\, as well as the relationship between historical time\, narrative conventions and authorship. The scenes described in his films and videos are moments in which nothing seems to fit neatly together at all. \n______ \nDonation cash bar.\nPrint magazine copies for sale. \nArt Metropole is located at 158 Sterling Road\, on the ground floor of the Museum of Contemporary Art\, which is fully accessible. If you have any concerns about accessibility\, please contact us at info@artmetropole.com. \n______ \nJournal online: https://nacre-journal.com

SUMMARY:Art Metropole - Martin Creed: Getting Changed
DESCRIPTION:London artist\, musician\, and Turner Prize-winner Martin Creed has created many works involving live music\, dance\, and language—in the form of word-sculptures\, talks\, and songs. Most recently he has been developing a new one-person show\, Getting Changed\, which is a hybrid of a talk\, a concert\, and a cabaret. Creed has been described as “part court jester and part subversive philosopher\,” and his new show explores borders both personal and national\, communication in the form of clothes\, and words as clothes for feelings—presented in his witty\, responsive\, freestyle way. \nThis concert kicks off Creed’s 2019/2020 North American tour. Part of the performance will also be recorded for a forthcoming Art Metropole release\, alongside a vinyl re-release of “I Can’t Move”\, originally published by Art Metropole as a CD in 1999. \nProduced with support from Museum of Contemporary Art\, Toronto \nGet tickets here
